Editing Till Death Us Do Part (section)

== Missing black and white episodes ==
Some of the show's 26 episodes from series 1–3 that were videotaped in black and white and broadcast between 1965 and 1968 no longer exist; they were wiped by the BBC during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Currently, most material from thirteen episodes still survives, with one episode on the original tape and the rest on film or domestic formats. The surviving 1960s B&W episodes are: "Arguments, Arguments"; "A House With Love in It"; "Intolerance"; "Peace & Goodwill"; "Sex Before Marriage"; "In Sickness and in Health"; "State Visit"; "Alf's Dilemma"; "Till Closing Time Do Us Part"; "The Phone"; "The Blood Donor"; "Monopoly" and "Aunt Maud". Sequences exist from: the pilot episode; "The Bulldog Breed"; "A Wapping Mythology (The Workers' King)"; and "The Puppy".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Till Death Us Do Part |url=https://www.tvbrain.info/tv-archive?showname=Till+Death+Us+Do+Part&type=lostshow |website=TV Brain}}</ref>

The public appeal campaign, the [[BBC Archive Treasure Hunt]], continues to search for lost episodes. In 1997, the long-lost episode "Alf's Dilemma" was found in a private collection on a 21-minute 16mm telerecording. This is the episode featuring Garnett reading Mary Whitehouse's first book. The episode was rebroadcast in 1998 on [[Gold (UK TV channel)|UK Gold]].

In 2001, two episodes from Series 3 were recovered, "The Phone" and "Aunt Maud". Both were taken from off air recordings on a Philips EL3400 open reel videotape by Martin Loach, the latter episode was missing the first two minutes.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Fiddy |first=Dick |title=Till Death Us Do Part – Episode Guide |publisher=Network |year=2016 |location=London, UK |pages=25, 27 |language=English}}</ref>

In August 2009, two more black and white episodes, "In Sickness and in Health" and "State Visit", were returned by a film collector.

The episode "Intolerance" was recovered in August 2016. It was screened at the BFI's annual "Missing Believed Wiped" event on Saturday 16 December 2016 at their Southbank venue. Network's late 2016 complete DVD box set contains off-air audio recordings of what was then every missing episode. In autumn 2017, a copy of "Sex Before Marriage" was recovered.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/news/2829/new_till_death_episode_found/|title=Another Till Death Us Do Part episode recovered|first=British Comedy|last=Guide|date=30 October 2017|website=British Comedy Guide}}</ref>
